Transferring between Primary
Schools
Should parents decide that they
wish to pursue an application for an alternative school, the
General
Application Form should be submitted to the School
Admissions Section for consideration. As many schools in the Vale
are oversubscribed, a child should not be removed from a school
unless a new place has been confirmed.
The LA does not encourage transfer
between schools, and a change of school mid-term can seriously
disrupt the continuity of a child's education. If parents feel that
a problem at school is so serious as to necessitate a change, you
are urged to take all reasonable steps to resolve the issue with
the school at first, and then to seek advice from
the admissions section if necessary, before
applying for a transfer.
Where parents knowingly give
false information in order to obtain the advantage of a particular
school for their child to which they would not otherwise be
entitled, the council reserves the right to withdraw the offer of a
place. Parents may render themselves guilty of an offence under
Section 5(b) of the Perjury Act 1911.
